This family was so much fun to work with! I don’t know if I have ever had easier, more cooperative kiddos! Especially big sister, who is 2! I normally have to chase the 2 year olds down, but this sweet girl was posing it up!

I was on Facebook one night just glancing through when I saw the story of this sweet family on the Murfreesboro.com page. After reading a little about them and how they had just adopted these two sweet little boys from Ethiopia, I just knew I had to work with them and give them an updated family photo! “A” and “H” were a total blast and I had so much fun getting to know them! & their big sisters were equally as awesome! It was just so amazing to see this new family of 6 and the love they had for each other! It was truly an honor to work with the Sharp Family! & their colorful wardrobe made my day!

So I have had quite a few of you fellow photographers email me over the past couple of years asking about backdrop stands and I thought a blog post would be the perfect way to answer this question for several of you at one time! I’m honestly not a huge fan of the PVC pipe shindig that has been floating around the past year or so! It’s just not an easy or convenient solution when many of us have to travel to our client’s homes for sessions. So, allow me to share the perfect solution with you! The backdrop stand below is from YescomUSA. They have a little bit of everything, not just photo related equipment. Their selection is quite great and they are super affordable!

The stand arrives in this easy to carry case:

I love how well they come packaged! You can tell YescomUSA pays special attention to ensure their products arrive top notch!

I absolutely love, love, LOVE this case! It keeps everything nice and organized and separated so that it doesn’t get all scratched up!

And here is the coolest part! This backdrop stand is totally customizable for your needs! It adjusts from 5ft in width all the way to 10ft! Most stands I have found are automatically 10ft-ish. This makes it difficult when you have a small space to work in! I LOVE that I can make this one 5ft, which is perfect for all my newborn/baby sessions! Pictured below is my stand at 5ft width and my 3×5 flokati attached just to give you an idea of proportions!

Sweet Elsie is officially a graduate of the Watch Me Grow plan! I will miss seeing her sweet little face so often! She got sleepy around the end of the session and the result was my favorite shot {snuggling with mama}!
